the maxwell case; epstein files; et. al. suggested that they were in control of cryptocurrencies and you're now benefiting from it; does it give you any sort of pause about how you getting rich off of baby fucking/eating and bombing children?
i know that this sounds snarky and it's not intended as an attack on you, but i use this wording to make it clear that this is what's happening and i genuinely wonder if this new crop of petite bourgeoisie are as well connected to the fundamental reality of our existence as their non-bourgeoise classes are.
Preaching to the choir here. I think crypto is a scam. But I don't control what my spouse does with their money. We largely keep our finances separate because we have such different investment philosophies.
is your spouse aware of this reality? does this lack of care for society and humanity factor into how you regard them?
